Romo poised to enter record book Sunday night

The last five quarterbacks to face the Eagles have posted passer ratings of 120 or higher while completing at least 64 percent of their passes for two or more touchdowns, no interceptions and at least 200 yards.

The only other team to have such a five-week slump against the pass was the 1984 Minnesota Vikings, who were also 3-8 after 11 games en route to a 3-13 finish while allowing a whopping 484 points.

With all that said, expect Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo to become the franchise’s record holder for career touchdown passes Sunday night.

Romo is tied with Hall of Famer Troy Aikman, who passed for 165 TDs from 1989-2000.

“I’m not a stats guy,” Romo told ESPNDallas.com on Thursday in Irving. “Anybody that knows me knows it’s about winning. I hadn’t even heard about that stat until you said it right now, so we just need to win football games.”

Aikman’s 165 TDs came in 165 games. Romo has needed only 88 contests to match it, a sign of how much the game has changed since the 1990s and a reminder that NFL rushing king Emmitt Smith was the Cowboys’ most potent offensive weapon during that era.
